MATING SUGGESTIONS: A six-time Gr.1 winner, Auguste Rodin scored at the highest level at two, three and four, and the fact that he raced 16 times highlights his soundness and durability. In addition to his first-class form, Auguste Rodin possesses exceptional bloodlines. His dam, the versatile Rhododendron, was a Gr.1 winner at two, three and four and her sister Magical won seven Gr.1s. Second dam Halfway To Heaven numbered the Irish 1,000 Guineas among her three Gr.1 successes and third dam Cassandra Go was one of the fastest fillies of her generation. Deep Impact has enjoyed tremendous success with daughters of STORM CAT , with this partnership producing nine Gr.1 winners, including the Prix du Jockey-Club winner Study of Man and the Japanese Derby winner Kizuna. Auguste Rodin, like Saxon Warrior, is a representative of the highly successful Deep Impact-Galileo cross. Saxon Warrior has five winners from his first seven runners out of STORM CAT mares, including 119-rated King’s Gambit. He also has five winners from six starters out of LOPE DE VEGA mares, including three with Racing Post ratings of 108, 108 and 105. Significantly, another LOPE DE VEGA mare produced Gr.2 winner Birthe to Study of Man, another son of Deep Impact. Saxon Warrior’s first four starters out of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY mares include Gr.3 2YO winner Moon Ray and Gr.1-placed Australian filly Aethelflaed. Deep Impact also sired the French classic winner Beauty Parlour from a mare by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY . This suggests that Auguste Rodin will shine with mares by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY , SHAMARDAL , LOPE DE VEGA and BLUE POINT . LOPE DE VEGA is closely inbred to MACHIAVELLIAN , broodmare sire of two Gr.1 winners by Deep Impact. Daughters of SCAT DADDY , CARAVAGGIO and NO NAY NEVER should be ideal for Auguste Rodin. Auguste Rodin’s pedigree is free from DANZIG . Deep Impact had Gr.1 winners from several DANZIG line mares. Saxon Warrior’s Gr.2 winner Lumiere Rock has a 2nd dam by ANABAA . The GREEN DESERT branch merits serious consideration seeing that Saxon Warrior has sired the Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Victoria Road and the Group-placed 2YO Andab from a daughter of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT . He has also sired Gr.3 winner Gostam from an OASIS DREAM mare. This opens the door to daughters of KINGMAN , CAPE CROSS , SHOWCASING and SEA THE STARS . Daughters of SEA THE STARS create 4x3 to Urban Sea. Mares by the many successful stallion sons of DANEHILL should work well with Auguste Rodin. DEEP IMPACT has Gr.1 winners out of daughters of FASTNET ROCK , REDOUTE’S CHOICE and ROCK OF GIBRALTAR . Deep Impact’s son Kizuna sired the Japanese 2,000 Guineas winner Justin Milano from a fast EXCEED AND EXCEL mare. Saxon Warrior’s Gr.1-placed son Sardinian Warrior is by a son of DANSILI and Study of Man sired the very smart Kalpana from a daughter of DANSILI , so daughters of ZOFFANY should also suit. Daughters of Sadler’s Wells’s noted stallion sons, such as MONTJEU , HIGH CHAPARRAL and BARATHEA create 4x3 with Auguste Rodin, with grandsons such as CAMELOT and AUTHORIZED creating 4x4. The broodmares sires of Deep Impact’s Gr.1 winners include SADLER’S WELLS (the 2020 Prix de Diane winner Fancy Blue) and two sons of Sadler’s Wells’s brother FAIRY KING . SADLER’S WELLS and NUREYEV jointly sired the second dams of seven of Deep Impact’s Gr.1 scorers. Saxon Warrior has already sired the Gr.2-winning Lumiere Rock from a mare by NUREYEV ’s grandson GOLD AWAY and a 2YO Listed winner from a mare by PEINTRE CELEBRE . A second line of PIVOTAL could work well with Auguste Rodin, and mares by SIYOUNI should reinforce his 2YO ability. Deep Impact owes quite a lot of his success to mares from the MR PROSPECTOR line. Saxon Warrior’s Gr.2 winner Borna has a dam by KING’S BEST , while his Lincoln Handicap winner Godwinson has a dam by RAVEN’S PASS . Auguste Rodin’s other options include daughters of DUBAWI , ZAMINDAR , IFFRAAJ , NAYEF , STREET CRY , MEDICEAN and DUTCH ART . Daughters of ACCLAMATION , DARK ANGEL and MEHMAS are others likely to reinforce Auguste Rodin’s juvenile ability. The black-type winners by Deep Impact’s older stallion sons include several inbred 4x4 to HALO and others are inbred 3x3 or 3x4 to Halo’s son SUNDAY SILENCE .

MATING SUGGESTIONS: The saying that form is temporary, class is permanent applies very much to Australia in 2025. A champion son of two champion parents, Australia has always had a lot of class, as he reminded everyone when his son Lambourn emulated his sire Australia and grandsire Galileo in winning both the Derby and Irish Derby. Additional Gr.1 success came when Cercene landed the Coronation Stakes. Australia now has nearly 50 BTWs to his credit. A branch of the Northern Dancer line which has enjoyed repeated classic success with Galileo is the one represented by STORM CAT . Galileo had 16 BTWs from 72 foals out of daughters of STORM CAT (22%) and no fewer than 9 of them were Gr.1 winners (13%). Teofilo sired a Gr.1 winner from a daughter of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY . As Marvellous, Gleneagles and Joan of Arc are out of a sister to GIANT’S CAUSEWAY , this is an avenue well worth exploring. Sons of Galileo have two Gr.1 winners and two Gr.2 winners out of daughters of SHAMARDAL . From ten starters out of SCAT DADDY mares, Galileo sired the Irish Oaks winner Savethelastdance. Now Australia has sired Lambourn from only two foals out of SCAT DADDY mares, as well as the Gr.1-placed Gr.3 winner Wemightakedelongway from only three foals out of daughters of NO NAY NEVER . This suggests more daughters of NO NAY NEVER and that mares by CARAVAGGIO and SIOUX NATION could also inject speed and precocity into Australia’s progeny. AUSTRALIA is benefiting from mares with AHONOORA blood. He has made an impressive start with mares by ACCLAMATION , which create 5x4 to AHONOORA . From 21 foals he has sired the Gr.1-winning Cercene, the very smart brothers Broome and Point Lonsdale and Gr.3 winner Counterparty Risk. Three other sons of Galileo have Group winners from ACCLAMATION mares, with Gr.1 Prix Jacques le Marois winner Diego
10
Velazquez being by Frankel. Galileo’s classic winners New Approach and Was respectively have a dam and a second dam by the top sprinter AHONOORA . DANZIG is back in the fifth generation of Australia’s foals’ pedigrees and several of his Group winners have a second line. His Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Order of Australia has a dam by DANEHILL and sons of DANEHILL are also playing a significant role. His first classic winner, Galileo Chrome, has a dam by DANSILI , while his 2024 Gr.2 Ribblesdale Stakes winner Port Fairy has a dam by FASTNET ROCK and the Gr.2 winner Epona Plays has a dam by ORATORIO . Australia’s sire Galileo excelled with FASTNET ROCK mares, siring ten BTWs (23%), and FASTNET ROCK has now sired the dam of one of Australia’s Listed winners and the 2nd dam of the smart Wemightakedelongway. Australia is also making his mark with mares by DANEHILL DANCER , siring Gr.2 winners Sir Ron Priestly and Leo de Fury, Gr.3 winner Waipiro and Listed winner Kiamba. DANEHILL DANCER mares have a tremendous 19% black-type winners with Galileo. Australia also has the Gr.3 winner Elounda Queen out of a MASTERCRAFTSMAN mare. There are also Group performers with dams by DYLAN THOMAS and DUKE OF MARMALADE . Three of Australia’s Group winners - Buckhurst, Beyond Reason and Patrick Sarsfield - are respectively inbred 4x2, 4x3 and 4x4 to GREEN DESERT and he also has Listed winners out of daughters of OASIS DREAM and INVINCIBLE SPIRIT . Daughters of GREEN DESERT have produced 16% black-type winners to Galileo, including the Oaks winner Was. Five sons of Galileo - Frankel, Teofilo, Intello, Nathaniel and New Approach - have collectively sired an impressive total of nine Gr.1 winners from grand-daughters of GREEN DESERT , including Derby winner Masar. The broodmare sires involved are OASIS DREAM (5), CAPE CROSS , INVINCIBLE SPIRIT , KHELEYF and DESERT STYLE . Australia’s first two foals out of WAR FRONT mares are winners, including the classic-placed Adelaide River. Galileo has an excellent record with ANABAA mares, siring Bolshoi Ballet, Capri and Lush Lashes. Another son of Galileo sired the brilliant Enable from a SADLER’S WELLS mare. Frankel, Teofilo and Gleneagles have all sired Gr.1 winners from daughters of MONTJEU , this being 3x3 to SADLER’S WELLS . They include winners of the Oaks and the Dewhurst Stakes. Australia’s American Gr.1 winner Ocean Road has a dam by THEATRICAL . He also has a Gr.2 winner with a dam by PEINTRE CELEBRE , three Listed winners out of PIVOTAL mares and two Group winners with second dams by NUREYEV . Galileo also excelled with this NUREYEV line, notably siring 14 BTWs from 48 foals out of PIVOTAL mares (29%). Frankel is also shaping up very well with daughters of PIVOTAL , with the top-class Cracksman and the classic-winning Nashwa among his five Gr.1 winners. New Approach sired the Oaks winner Talent from a PEINTRE CELEBRE mare. Galileo and his sons have thrived with mares from the MILL REEF line, and Australia’s first classic winner, Galileo Chrome, has a second dam by DARSHAAN . Thanks to his smart son Bangkok, Australia is one of four sons of Galileo to have sired a Group winner from DARSHAAN mares. Galileo excelled with the ROBERTO line, notably siring the King George and Eclipse winner Nathaniel, Great Heavens and Seville from daughters of SILVER HAWK . His partnership with INTIKHAB was tremendously effective, with five Group winners from 13 foals, including Arc winner Found. The BLUSHING GROOM line suits Galileo and his sons. Australia sired the Gr.1 winner Mare Australis from a daughter of RAINBOW QUEST . RAHY sired the second dams of Galileo’s Gr.1 winners Decorated Knight, Marvellous, Gleneagles, Joan of Arc, Happily and Deauville. Frankel and Teofilo have both sired Gr.2 winners from daughters of RAHY , so mares with RAHY blood are recommended for Australia. Australia has already sired the classic-placed Cayenne Pepper from a MR PROSPECTOR line mare, by GONE WEST’s son ELUSIVE QUALITY . The KINGMAMBO branch, via LEMON DROP KID and DUBAI DESTINATION , is recommended, as are mares by DUBAWI . Four sons of Galileo have Group winners out of daughters of DUBAWI , with Frankel and Teofilo having especially impressive records. Australia’s first ten starters with dams by DUBAWI include two Listed winners in Australia.

MATING SUGGESTIONS: In several ways Blackbeard emulated his sire No Nay Never, who made an impressive debut as early as April 26 and won his first three starts, including the Gr.2 Norfolk Stakes and the Gr.1 Prix Morny. Blackbeard made his mark even earlier and he was scoring for the third time in as many starts when running out an impressive all-the-way winner of the Gr.3 Marble Hill S. on May 21. After being caught in the last stride of the Gr.2 Railway S., he reeled off decisive victories in the Gr.2 Prix Robert Papin, Gr.1 Prix Morny and Gr.1 Middle Park S. to improve his career figures to six wins and a short-head second from eight starts. Blackbeard represents an unbroken sequence of seven generations of Gr.1 2YO winners from his male line. His credentials ensured keen demand for his first-crop yearlings, which sold for up to 500,000gns. Blackbeard is out of a mare by GREEN DESERT’s grandson Born to Sea. GREEN DESERT’s son INVINCIBLE SPIRIT sired the dam of No Nay Never’s fast Gr.2 winner Trillium, while another son of GREEN DESERT sired the dam of Gr.2 2YO winner Aesop’s Fable. No Nay Never has a Gr.3 winner out of a mare by SEA THE STARS (a half-brother to Blackbeard’s broodmare sire). No Nay Never has an impressive 21% BTWs from 24 foals out of mares by OASIS DREAM , including Gr.1 7f winner Never So Brave and Gr.2 2YO winners Array and Les Pavots. OASIS DREAM also sired the dams of Caravaggio’s Gr.1 winner Whitebeam and El Kabeir’s fast daughter Azure Blue, while Sioux Nation, another of Scat Daddy’s sons, has several good winners inbred 3x3 to OASIS DREAM , including Group winners Sydneyarms Chelsea and Ocean Quest. Blackbeard would suit grand-daughters of GREEN DESERT . Mares by sons of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT , such as KINGMAN and LAWMAN , would create 4x3 to INVINCIBLE SPIRIT , a sire of more than 70 Group winners. Blackbeard could be an ideal means of injecting precocity into the daughters of SEA THE STARS . This creates 5x4 to GREEN DESERT and 4x3 to the great mare Urban Sea. No Nay Never’s multiple Gr.1-winning filly Alcohol Free is out of a grand-daughter of Danzig, by HARD SPUN . He is also working very well with mares by sons of DANEHILL . In addition to Ten Sovereigns, out of an EXCEED AND EXCEL mare, he has black-type winners out of daughters of HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR , KODIAC , ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (Gr.2 scorer Land Force), FASTNET ROCK (Gr.1 winner True Love and Gr.2 winner Truly Enchanting), DANSILI , ORATORIO and CATCHER IN THE RYE . Mares by CAMACHO and CLODOVIL would also reinforce Blackbeard’s speed, as would daughters of CHOISIR , 14
STARSPANGLEDBANNER , ZOFFANY , BATED BREATH and DANDY MAN . HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR is also the broodmare sire of Caravaggio’s outstanding daughter Porta Fortuna. Although No Nay Never has two lines of MR PROSPECTOR , this outstanding American stallion will be no closer than the fifth generation of Blackbeard’s offspring. No Nay Never is thriving with mares with MR PROSPECTOR blood. The Gr.2-winning siblings Arizona and Nay Lady Nay have a dam by ENGLISH CHANNEL , a son of SMART STRIKE . Two more of his Gr.2 winners, including the 2YO Zain Claudette, are out of daughters of SPEIGHTSTOWN and CHESTER HOUSE . Sons of Scat Daddy have sired Gr.1 winners from mares by ELUSIVE QUALITY’s sons RAVEN’S PASS and QUALITY ROAD . Two sons of DUBAWI have sired black-type performers from Blackbeard’s family. Blackbeard should do well with mares by FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND , SHAMARDAL , LOPE DE VEGA and BLUE POINT . It was LOPE DE VEGA who sired the dual Gr.3 winner Max Vega from Blackbeard’s family. The SADLER’S WELLS line is sure to provide Blackbeard with some good winners. No Nay Never’s Gr.2-winners Shadn and Visualisation have dams by SADLER’S WELLS , who also sired the dam of Justify’s Gr.1-winning daughter Opera Singer. No Nay Never also has five 2YO BTWs among his runners out of GALILEO mares. Justify’s numerous Group performers out of GALILEO mares include the top-class City of Troy and Gr.1 St Leger winner Scandinavia. Sons of Scat Daddy have BTWs out of daughters of FRANKEL , TEOFILO , RIP VAN WINKLE and SIXTIES ICON . Mares by HIGH CHAPARRAL have produced three Group winners (11%) to No Nay Never while a daughter of MONTJEU is dam of his son Ten Sovereign’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Balantina. The SHIRLEY HEIGHTS male line has quickly made its mark with No Nay Never. The smart siblings Wichita and Bubbling have a dam by DASHING BLADE , while the Group winning 2YOs Meditate and Midnight Mile respectively have a dam by DALAKHANI and a 2nd dam by DARSHAAN as Ten Sovereign’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Balantina. Mares from the quick-maturing ROYAL APPLAUSE line should help Blackbeard pass on his considerable juvenile ability. No Nay Never’s very useful sprinter Royal Commando has a dam by ACCLAMATION , as does Sioux Nation’s Gr.3 winner Letsbefrankaboutit. Daughters of DARK ANGEL , MEHMAS and EQUIANO would also suit. A daughter of EQUIANO produced Gr.1-winning sprinter Arizona Blaze to a son of Scat Daddy. No Nay Never has a Gr.3 winner out of an INDIAN RIDGE mare and his Group winners Wichita, Bubbling, Land Force and Love Locket all have 2nd dams by INDIAN RIDGE . BLUSHING GROOM’s sons RAINBOW QUEST , NASHWAN and RAHY collectively sired the 2nd dams of five of No Nay Never’s black-type winners.

MATING SUGGESTIONS: It was by only three-quarters of a length that Camelot failed to become the first Triple Crown winner since Nijinsky in 1970 and only the second since Bahram in 1935. His sire Montjeu has been one of the greatest classic influences of modern times but it was Camelot’s speed which made him exceptional. He won the Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy at two and became Montjeu’s only classic winner over a mile, in the 2,000 Guineas. Camelot is now a powerful classic influence, as was underlined by the fact that he sired first, third and fifth in the 2024 Arc. His 13 Gr.1 winners include 2026 Epsom Derby favourite Pierre Bonnard. Although Camelot’s second dam is a daughter of DANEHILL , mares from this line are proving the bedrock of his success. His Irish Oaks winner Even So and his dual American Gr.1 winner Santa Barbara have dams by DANEHILL and are therefore inbred 4x2. Camelot creates 4x3 with mares by Danehill’s sons. He is doing especially well with daughters of DANSILI , with this cross supplying first and third in the 2024 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in the shape of Bluestocking and Los Angeles. There is also a Gr.3 winner out of a grand-daughter of DANSILI , so daughters of ZOFFANY and BATED BREATH should suit. Camelot also has Group winners out of daughters of DANEHILL DANCER , DUKE OF MARMALADE , EXCEED AND EXCEL , FASTNET ROCK and HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR . He has also enjoyed Group success with mares by grandsons of DANEHILL , notably siring the Gr.1-winning Wonderment from a grand-daughter of TIGER HILL . The GREEN DESERT branch is also reaping rich rewards with Camelot. A mare by GREEN DESERT produced the Gr.1 winner Athena and the Gr.3 winner Goddess to him. His Group performers out of CAPE CROSS mares are headed by Russian Camelot, a dual Gr.1 winner in Australia. He should sire talented middle-distance stayers from daughters of SEA THE STARS . Camelot also sired the dual Gr.1 winner Sir Dragonet from a daughter of OASIS DREAM , plus the Gr.3 2YO winner King’s Harlequin from an INVINCIBLE SPIRIT mare. His 2025 Gr.3 winner Leinster is one of only two runners out of KINGMAN mares. The classic-winning Latrobe, Oaks second Pink Dogwood and Gr.3 winners Prydwen and Uther are among his 17% BTWs out of SHAMARDAL mares, the Gr.3 winner Skyward is out of a GIANT’S CAUSEWAY mare and Gr.3 winner Pollara had a dam by STORM CAT . He has now sired the dual Gr.2 winner Sober from 3 starters out of LOPE DE VEGA mares and he had a €1,200,000 yearling in 2025 out of a LOPE DE VEGA mare. He merits more mares by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY , SHAMARDAL , LOPE DE VEGA and BLUE POINT . MR PROSPECTOR is back in the fourth generation of Camelot’s foals, via KINGMAMBO . His 2024 Irish Derby winner Los Angeles is inbred 3x3 to KINGMAMBO . More MR PROSPECTOR blood is attractive in view of the scale of Montjeu’s success with other MR PROSPECTOR line stallions. ZAFONIC sired the dam of Camelot’s very useful son English King and the 2nd dam of Gr.1 winner Pierre Bonnard. His Gr.2-placed daughter Yorokobi is one of only 3 foals out of WOOTTON BASSETT mares. He has further black-type winners out of mares by GONE WEST’s sons JOHAR and GRAND SLAM and grandsons RAVEN’S PASS and ELUSIVE CITY . Camelot already has a Gr.3 winner and a Group-placed Listed winner from his first 5 starters out of DUBAWI mares. Camelot’s 23 foals out of GALILEO mares include 4 black-type winners. These are inbred 3x3 to SADLER’S WELLS , and Sir Dragonet, Russian Camelot and Current Option are others inbred 3x3 to SADLER’S WELLS , while Pierre Bonnard and Sammarco are inbred 3x4 through NEW APPROACH and IN THE WINGS . Camelot also has Group performers out of daughters of AUSTRALIA and FRANKEL . Camelot’s first Group winner, Fighting Irish, had a dam by PIVOTAL . He should suit daughters of SIYOUNI . 19
